I Rejected You, Alpha

AIDEN’S POV

—

I wonder if she thinks I’m being cold…I honestly hope not because I want nothing more than to bend her over and love her , but it is necessary for the full moon .

I’m not a big believer in theories , but when I was younger , my grandmother told me , when I meet my mate , I have to wait for the full moon to rise for the best surprise .

I asked her what was the surprise and she said that when we mate for the very first time and I mark her on the full moon , that’s when we’ll become stronger , that’s when it’s an undeniable love .

And I do believe her , my grandma wasn’t one to believe in a lot of things too , so when she believed , I did too .

I notice her chewing slower and slower , her throat tightening .ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“Are you okay ?” I ask as I finished my sandwich and her lips smiled at me , but her forest orbs were in distraught .

“You don’t have to finish it .” I shake my head as I stand up and round the kitchen island to get to her , lifting the plate .

“Spit it out .” I nod , but she just stares at me with horrid filled eyes .

“It’s okay .” I rest my free hand on her shoulder and she slowly takes the plate , spitting the food out .

Her eyes tear up and she glances at Stefan and Rosie staring at her , Rosie has a pity expression and Stefan does too .

“Are you okay ?” Rosie asks as she untangles from Stefan’s arms and comes to my mate’s side .

Eleia nods and I wipe the single tear that rolls down from the side of her eye .

“Come on .” I hold out my hand and she batts her eyelashes , glancing up at me with a forced smile .

It was difficult to see a person not being able to eat .

“You too .” I nod at Rosie and Stefan’s glare bores into the side of my face .

I look at him , frowning , “We need the doctor for them .” I inform him and he scoffs , “Rosie is fine .”

“She hasn’t even touched her sandwich , they need help .” I shake my head and his eyes glances at her plate to her untouched sandwich .

I could see the guilt covering my best friend’s face and I realise that he did not even notice .

“It’s okay , let’s just take them .” I shrug and he nods .

I could tell the girls were uncomfortable , but I sigh , pulling my mate into my arms .

“It will be a woman . She’s very nice , she’s gentle and we’ll be there , okay ?” I try to calm her and she nods , her shaky hands clasping my shirt .

“Let’s go .” Stefan nods as we walk out of the door and stroll to the doctor’s home that’s less than five hundred meters away .

I knock on the door and she immediately opens .

“Alpha .” She bows and I nod , “Good afternoon .” I greet her with a warm smile and her eyes flick to my mate .

“Who’s this ?” She asks , sticking her hand out .

I glance down to the side , “My mate .” I smile .

“Congratulations Alpha .” The doctor smiles and opens the door for us .

“Beta Stefan .” The doctor blushes and I pray to goddess that Rosie doesn’t notice .

“Doctor , this is my mate , Rosie .” Stefan introduces her and I give him a mental fist bump for doing this right .

“It’s nice to meet you .” I could tell the doctor wasn’t pleased , but she handled it gracefully .

I make a mental note to ask him about it later .

I know that Stefan is a big flirt , but the doctor ?

Seriously ?

“Hi .” Rosie mutters as we lead them inside and I make my way to her at home office .

I sit down , pulling Eleia in my lap and she hasn’t said I word .

The way she holds my hand tightly tells me that she’s nervous and as she sits sideways on my lap , I rub the small of her back .

The doctor sits down , smiling at us and Rosie sits on Stefan’s one leg as there’s only two seats .

“What can I do for you ?” She asks , forcing a smile and I could tell that this was a strange encounter .

No one ever comes in here with another couple .

“Well I want diet plans for these girls .” I clear my throat and her eyes widen .

“But they’re already thin .” She shakes her head , confusion written all over her face .

A low chuckle escapes my lips , “No , they’re too thin . They can barely eat…” I stare the doctor down and her lips form an o , no sound coming out as she realized .

“They came from the same pack ?” She asks as she grabs a book and I hum in response .

Stefan barely says anything , he sits holding his mate as if she is going to disappear .

“Okay .” The doctor smiles , nodding and I wait as she stands up and heads over to her printer .

She scans something out of a book and it makes two copies .

She hands me both papers , “These diets for weight gaining will do , they can choose how much they want to eat , but they have to try three times a day , twice for the first week .” She smiles as she rounds her desk and sits back down .

My eyes trail over the amount of fruits and meat and I nod , lifting my gaze , “Thank you .” I smile before letting my leg hop and Eleia stands , staring at the doctor with a smile .

“Thank you .” She mutters in a soft voice and my heart beams at her soft tone .

She’s so innocent , I hate that this happened to her .

I stand up , taking my mate’s hand and Stefan and Rosie join and I hand them the one paper .

“See you .” I raise my brows before walking out and stepping foot out of her house was like weight lifting .

I keep on staring at the paper as we walk back to my house .

“It looks good , I might eat this .” Stefan jokes and the girls giggle .

“So maybe we can make bacon and avocado salad for you guys tonight ?” I suggest and they nod .

“Sounds good .” Eleia yawns and I stare at her with worried gaze as her eyes are narrowed tiredly .

“You tired ?” I ask her as Stefan and Rosie disappear up the stairs .

She nods and I don’t hesitate to scoop her up into my arms .

Her daisy scent has my groin harden like a rock .

It’s so hard to not do anything when she smells so good .

Carrying her up the stairs , she has yawned three times and I lay her down on the bed , her body curling up as she holds the pillow .

“Where are you going ?” She asks as I head to the door .

“I have work to do .” I smile and she chews on her bottom l*p , making me gulp as her innocent eyes trail my body before she makes herself comfortable and closes her eyes .

I stand still , staring at her with a smile before I make my way down the stairs and into my office .

I pull up everything I have on the Night pack .

I go through everything Eleia has told me and what I had others find out by spying on them .

I finish up before heading outside and I train with my warriors .

While fighting one of our bests , I bellow loudly to the others , “I want more warriors , I want them to hurt !” I growl while punching the guy , he blocks it with his forearm .

“Good .” I nod , backing up before I drop and swing my leg out to his , knocking him on his a*s .

“Never think the fight is over , always have your eyes open and be on your guard .” I raise to my feet , a layer of sweat coating my skin .

The guy g****s before raising and anger is written all over .

I don’t like pissing my men off , but I have to keep them on their feet , I need them ready .

Everyone stands around us , some sparring one on one and other sparring two to one .

They switch out now and then and after an hour , I clear my throat , drawing their attention and all of them gather in a circle around me .

“So I want you ready , when I don’t train with you , I still want you to train . I don’t want injuries or fights because I want Alpha Regan from the Night pack to pay . I found my mate , she was from his pack and it’s the last straw for him after what he and his pack did to her .” I announce and they all nod as I speak , I turn as I speak , looking each one in the eye .

Well the ones I can see .

“So , in a week , I want all of you ready . New warriors , I want them trained . Got it ? I don’t care if you meet your mate from another pack , you stay here until we finish that pack .” I growl and they nod .

“Thank you , that’s it for today . Work out at night and hit the shower before bed . Stay on your feet .” I clap for them and it makes them smile .

Some alpha’s demand respect , I earn mine .

I give my people what they need , respect but boundaries .

I love my job , I love being the alpha , I love being a leader and I love every member of this pack .

This is my family , we aren’t a big pack , but we have twenty members more than The Night Pack , but we’re also stronger , better skilled .

They all disappear when I walk up towards my home and I look back , seeing some talking before I enter my house , tossing my shirt onto the bench in the foyer before I head up the stairs .

I’m hot , sweating and half out of breath , but it’s not showing .

I enter the room to see Eleia sleeping on her stomach , her one leg hiked up , her a*s looking phenomenal as it’s pressed into the air .

My tongue drags over the top row of my teeth as I stare at her , her shirt riled up to right below her breasts , showing the gashes on her back and the slight exposure of her ribs .

I want to crawl over her and love her , but I need to wait .

I turn and head into the bathroom to take a shower .
